8/10

Viewers are captivated by 'The Tale of The Princess Kaguya,' praising its unique, watercolor-like animation and deeply poetic and touching storyline. The film's portrayal of societal constraints and personal freedom resonates strongly, evoking a range of emotions from joy to profound sadness. While the distinctive artistic style is generally adored, it also sets it apart from typical Ghibli animations, which might not appeal to everyone. Despite its beauty, some find the plot pacing slow and the ending overly melancholic.

👍 Unique, watercolor-like animation enchants viewers.

👎 Art style and pacing might not appeal to all.

J'ai envie d'être un esprit qui vole avec les oiseaux, qui frôle l'eau des océans et qui carresse les hautes herbes des champs

Mais quelle beauté ce film ! Un vrai drame pour cette Kaguya qui aime profondément la Terre mais qui subit les travers de l'humain. Le style estampe est parfaitement adapté pour retranscrire cette légende japonaise, en plus d'être sublime, on ne va pas se mentir. J'ai bien chialé à la fin 🥹 Bref, un autre de mes coups de cœur cinématographique ❤️
